If rumours of Tomas Rosicky's transfer to Arsenal are true then hats off to Mr. Arsene Wenger. Word on the street (OK, in The Guardian) is that Rosicky will sign for an absolute bargain 6.8 million pounds. Anyone who's ever seen then the 25 year old Czech Republic and Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder in action will know that's real value for money, like shopping at Kwik Save and accidentally getting something from Harrods. Despite costing 18 million when Dortmund signed him from Sparta Prague in 2001, Rosicky seems to have a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for chump change.
